General :: Text Box On Form - How To Make Textbox Date Default To Previous Record
Nov 13, 2013
I'm having trouble with a Form and getting a text box entry box (Date entry) default to the date entered on the last record, which is linked to a table.
The only way I can get it to work is to type the date into the Text Box's Default property, for example, #11/13/13".
How to get the correct syntax or code into the Default property of the Text Box to make this work? I only want the entry to change versus the previous record/entry if the User changes / enters a new date.

I currently have two forms: frmE_SAFind and frmE_SAOrder
frmE_SAFind shows results from a query including fields [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
Example:
IDPO Date
btnOpnFrm 6543 2/1/05
btnOpnFrm 5681 1/1/05
frmE_SAOrder shows order details including [txtIDPO] and [dtmDate]
I have a open form command button set up on [frmE_SAFind] that opens [frmE_SAOrder]. Is it possible for me to modify its properties so that when the open form command button is clicked, the order details in [frmE_SAOrder] will represent the order that the user is selecting via the btnOpnFrm command?
Example: If I click btnOpnFrm for 6543, [frmE_SAOrder] will show me PO 6543 details.
Hopefully I made myself clear enough to understand. Thanks for your help!

I have a text box in a form. When the value in the text box is changed, a message box appears asking if the user wants to change the value in the text box. If they select "Yes", all is good and it goes on well, but when they select "No" is it possible for the text box to retain its previous value?
For example.
The value in the text box is "1". The user changes this value to "2". A message box pops up asking if the user wants to change the value, the user select "No" and so the value in the text box goes back to "1", the number it started with before it changed.

Is there a method of setting the default value for new entries to the same value as the previous entry?
For example, I have a quality control information table that stores QC data for different lot numbers. It is annoying to enter in the lot number and product code field over and over again if there are dozens of records per lot number. Is there a way for Access to easily display the previous entry as the default value?

G'day. I've been browsing the forum trying to find a solution to a problem, without much luck, and am hoping that someone might be kind enough to help me more directly.
I'm a biologist and a newbie to access: with the distinction of being completely clueless about VBA. Nonetheless, I have been tasked with creating a database for storing data obtained from biological surveys of juvenile salmon and harvest/spawner surveys of adult salmon.
The bones of the db are in place and functional. The problem I have is streamlining the data entry process to minimise keystrokes/mouse clicks.
I have a subform for entering fish records with attributes such as 'species_name', 'fork_length', 'count', 'presence of tags, etc. The idea is that fish can be entered as individuals (count=1) or groups (count>1) with attribute data at the appropriate level (eg, fork lengths only entered for individuals. We typically measure the fork lengths of the first 20 individuals of each species and then tally the remainder).
One problem I face is that fish often occur in schools, and it becomes quite tiresome to click and select the same species_name combo box value for each record when entering multiple individuals of fish of the same species.
What I would like to do is set the default value for that combo box (on the fish subform) to match the value entered for the previous record.
I suspect that you could use the after update trigger to execute some code to change the default value each time something is entered manually into the combo box. Unfortunately, I know nothing about how to write the appropriate code.
Can anyone offer me some guidance?
Thanks in anticipation.
Sincerely,
Craig Dolphin

i have an unbound form where users can enter as much or as little as they'd like to search the database. i'd like to have default values for two unbound textboxes for initial date and ending date. i was wanting to put in 1/1/1999 for initial and 1/1/2050 (or another high number) for ending date. however, when i put those values in the Default Value property for each textbox, it changes to 12/30/1899..for both the initial and ending dates...how do i get my dates to show up?

I am creating a database for an annual golf tournament. Part of this is to allocate players to play off together at certain times.
I have a form bound to a table called tblteeofftimes. This form has five fields (continuous form) - four of which are comboboxes whereby user selects each player for the record (who will play together). The other textbox has the tee off time. the first tee off time will be allocated by user eg 7:00 am.
My problem is I need to update each ensuing record with a new time slot at 7 minute intervals. Rather than have the user populate the form themselves I would prefer this be done authomatically as the user moves onto the next record.

I want to disable the previous row in the subform the moment I do a new row to prevent the user from editing information other users put before. Is it possible.

I am new to access and have been staring at the same Run-time error for 3 days (pathetic I know). I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my Dlookup. Esentially, I want and After Update event in my combo box to populate a Rich text textbox in my form. After reading DLookup is the easiest way to make this happen. Here is my code:
Me.emailbody.Value = DLookup("[Escalation_1]", "Status_Emails", "Status_Emails.Status =" & (cboStatus.Value))
My error reads: "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Status_Emails.Status = LOCATION NEED MORE INFO'.
LOCATION NEED MORE INFO is the value in my criteria cbostatus.value.

Is there an efficient way to have default text in a textbox on my form (like a search box), but have it so that when a user focuses on the textbox (to type in a search term), the word should disappear.
Just like the search box on windows 7 start menu.
Then, is there a way to have the default text not be the actual text in the box? Otherwise, my search box will search the default text.

I'm building a database to control projects of new products for a company, the flow is easy:
-Step 1: Record the general information in a main table (db_master_info) (i.e. project name, description, date of launch, etc.)
- Step 2: Record the product codes in a detail table (db_units) (i.e. product codes and quantities)
-Step 3: Record monthly information like, production and sales forecast in the detail table (db_units)
-Step 4: Build a monthly stock equation(production minus sales forecast) and record a comment, in a comment table (db_comments), about the results.
The steps 1,2,3 and 4 I did successfully!
The step 5, I'm unable to think outside of the box!
I drew a sketch (form_stock and comments.jpg attached) that might be a possible solution...
Use a continuous subform with a unbound textbox with VBA to load record and edit/update???
How do I do this?

How do I make the windows default navigation work to the following:-Next record that navigates to next, but does not create a new record when at EOF. New record that creates a new record.
I've tried turning off 'Allow additions' for the form, but that turns off the 'New Record' button, so that's not right Perhaps it's me but the default way in which the navigation buttons work is strange. I would have thought the next button would only go next and wouldn't do new.

I would like to be able to keep the textbox value or store it in a variable so that I can get that value out whenever I jump from one form to another?
The only way I know is storing this on a temporary table somewhere..

I am building a Inventory Management Application for Tyre Shop. I have SaleMainTbl and SaleDetailTbl both used for preparing daily sale summary. I have Mainform based on SaleMainTbl with TxnDate and Total Amount (Sale) and the TxnDate is in one to many relation with SaleDetailTbl. FormSaleDetail is multiple row(continuous) form that makes billwise summary of each day having -TxnDate--BillNo--ItemSold--Company--Qunatity--Rate--Amount fields. I have inserted this form in FormSaleMainTbl.
So FormSaleMainTbl is Main form and FormSaleDetail is subform. TxnDate in FormSaleDetailTbl is automatically taken from SaleMainForm. I have further added text boxes in Main Form to show company wise sale for each day for which there is a query build one for each company that takes the currently loaded date from FormSaleDetail and calculates the Sale (Sum) of each brand (Company) of Tyres. All these objects are working very fine. However I have to close the MainForm and reopen it for result of query to appear in the appropriate text box in Main form.
Is there way to do this as soon as record is entered or at least at the end of completing the entry of each days sale transactions without closing the form. So the gist of the problem is realtime display of query result in text box on a form or updating the form screen immediately on updating any record or at the most after completing the updating of form but without having to close the form.

I need to know how to auto enter the date of the previous record into a new record. I have this db for my vehicle log sheets and I submit monthly a claim for the business km from my company. I usually cant remember the date of the previous claim and have to scroll back until I find the field with a date. It will be useful if the date was copied into every new record until I edit the date when I submit the claim. What I ask is during the new month all the dates will be the same until I submit the claim. I do not know how to do this, and yes I have done a search.

I tried searching everywhere and cant seem to find an answer to this one...
Is it possible to have a default value in a table which would be current month and year + text? Eg. mm/yy "text"
=now() & "text"
is fine but I need to format the date to mm/yy and cant seem to get it right.
eg. 08/06 Lease Payments
Also is there a way to do it for previous month, so if processing today it would give 07/06 Lease Payments?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I have a form with a date field on it. I would like the date field to automatically enter today's date, which it does now, but also I would like it to retrieve the previous record's date and if it is different from today's date, I want the form to use the previous date as the default value.
Does anyone know of how I would go about this?
Thanks,
Chris

I am hoping someone can help me, a real novice at Access 2000 - I am trying to construct a couple fields in a table, 1 of which will show a default value equal to a 2-digit year (yy) based on the current date. The second will display a default value equal to a two digit month (mm) based on the current date. Text fields would be ideal, but date field could work if it's the only way. Thank you for helping out a newbie.

Expressions in Access have given me some trouble before. Mainly due to inexperience. I hardly ever work with them. What I am trying to do is make the default value of a form textbox control the minimum value of a field A in a table A. The datatype of Field A is Date.
So far I've got:
=Min([table A].[field A])
In the Default Value of the form's property sheet, but this just returns a blank value. I've had a look in the table and there is no value that is blank in field A.
